  1. All mainstream motherboards are dual-channel only(Quad-channel is HEDT only).So going 2x8 or 4x4 doesn't make a difference(ok maybe 1-2 fps but thats margin of error).You can see it on the processor spec list it says 2 channels.I think 2 dimm slots are "multiplexed" on motherboard hence 4 slots = 2 channel,8 slots = 4 channel.
  2. 1)Make a mediaPC from it 2)Turn it into a nas 3)Use it as a web server 4)Install linux and use it as a normal computer(even some light gaming......maybe) 5)Home automation(similar to a web server) 6)Turn it into a kitchen pc(ok this is a joke im out of ideas )
  3. I've circled all the vrm mosfets.They are grouped by phase.Remove all of the mosfets that are in the circle that has the blown FET.I should warn you that this is very hard to do.I don't know what tools you have but this is hot air station territory.If you dont have that then I suggest don't bother.QFN-8 mosfets have a metal bottom which is soldered to the motherboard for better thermal dissipation.If this this is purely for learning purpose and have no expectation to work then you can try to preheat the board to 50 or60C in a oven and try to desolder with a soldering iron but that risks damaged traces and components.
  4. If the cpu has a short circuit then it would damage a working board.Posting the full motherboard name and a picture of yours would be very helpful.CPU vrm phases are usually indicated by the number of inductors.There should be 2 or 3 mosfets close to the inductor.Those mosfets and inductor form a "phase".Those phases use a Synchronous Buck converter topology.They use many of those phases to help spread the load and reduce ripple in high current applications.To check from Vcore to ground just probe one end of the idnuctor to ground(Use diode mode ie buzzer mode).If there is no short the value should start increasing.As for which components to test and where to probe I cant tell you because no picture.Hope this helps
  5. If you remove the damaged FET and its complementary one on that phase then you should be able to power up the board.But you might want to try with another cpu because if the high side one failed it might have killed the cpu with it.Also @Unimportantmentioned that the PMIC migh have died you should check that too.Here is what i would do: 1)Remove the damaged mosfet 2)check for other damaged mosfets and IC's 3)check for short circuit to ground 4)If there is nothing else damaged remove the other mosfet from the phase and test
  6. I dont think you want to know what my current keyboard and mouse are.
  7. I'm using a sapphire radeon hd6970 with a blower fan from XFX radeon 6970,broken pcb and broken plastic shroud So yeah i need a new gpu
  8. Here are some possible fixes: 1:Swap slots 2.Try single channel(or dual if are already running single) 3.try one stick at a time(boot to windows with one stick then shutdown and put the other) 4.Clear bios settings
